About this listen

This podcast is committed to celebrating the immigrant's journey to the U.S.A. and the process of learning how to navigate a new culture, new language, and finding resources that lead to a happy and independent life. From newly arrived friends, or those who have been in the country for years, you will hear inspiring interviews with adults and their family members. Additionally, you will hear from non-profit leaders, educators, and volunteers who are deeply committed to making impact on these inspiring people. Moving to a new country is a unique and daunting experience that takes courage and trust, but our mission is to include ALL voices, and to provide equitable space and an opportunity for them to be heard and celebrated as well as to learn from professionals how we can effectively support them.
